The US leader is pushing for international recognition of his peacemaking efforts<\/p>\n
Russia would back a potential Nobel Peace Prize for US President Donald Trump, Kremlin foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov said on Friday.
\nUshakov stated that Moscow \u201cwould probably support it at this point, if requested,\u201d when asked about the issue by journalist Aleksandr Yunashev.
\nThe official also criticized Ukraine\u2019s Vladimir Zelensky over a reported proposal to back Trump\u2019s bid for the prize in exchange for the supply of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Kiev, calling the idea \u201cmonstrous.\u201d The offer was first reported by Politico.
\nTrump has repeatedly claimed he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition for resolving multiple global conflicts since taking office in January. In recent comments, he contrasted himself with former US President Barack Obama, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2009 for \u201cefforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.\u201d
\nAccording to Trump, his election as president was \u201cmuch more important\u201d than that of Obama, who received the Nobel prize \u201cfor doing nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obama\u2019s Nobel Prize was widely viewed at the time as a symbolic rejection of the interventionist policies of his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush, including the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
\nSeveral international leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, and Pakistani Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, have expressed support for Trump\u2019s aspirations.
\nTrump has at times struggled to keep track of his own claimed achievements, having incorrectly asserted that he helped settle non-existent disputes between Albania and Azerbaijan and between Armenia and Cambodia. In reality, border tensions exist between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and between Cambodia and Thailand.
\nRussia has credited Trump for his attempts to mediate a settlement to the Ukraine conflict, calling the approach a great improvement from his predecessor, Joe Biden. The Biden administration prioritized achieving a \u201cstrategic defeat\u201d of Moscow and supplied Kiev with hundreds of billions of dollars in military and financial aid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
